'Bright colours!..again!....... (Platycercus elegans)

I have a great fascination for the Crimson Rosellas as they were elusive for some time and I wanted to get a better shot than one on the ground so I persuaded Pete to go back up to Gisborne and see what I could find! This shot was taken in the same front garden as the last post of the C/Rosella and I was treated to 3 beauties this time. Didn't know which one to watch!! The lighting again not so good as getting on to sunset and I didn't have a lot of time but I at least have one now on a tree and it certainly shows the great colours! Hope you all like this one too as only happy to share!
